    Calories in calories out has always seemed like a huge oversimplification to me.... like we're trying to apply Occam's razor to the human body. I'm glad science is finally throwing that BS out the window.

    Anyone else with me on this??

    Nope..... It has worked pretty good for me so far...... Think I will stick with it....

    And they have the nerve to keep going on with this "science". They just published this last week. They just won't stop!! Stop all this "science".

    How on earth does this contradict CICO? There are a few threads around here discussing it if you really have something to say.

    Neither of the diets tested focused on calories and I personally have lost much more by focusing on calories as well as finding a macro mix that fits my personal needs.

    Yeah, I suppose this isn't real science. Who would ever listen to modern evidence and research.

    +1 That YouTube video is a propaganda film that does a good job fooling the uneducated. Nothing more.

    In.

    I had cellulite but it couldn't have been my high bf% or lack of exercise or a balanced diet or how pale I was or that I am female or that I wore shorts a size too small...

    that f**king sugar, man.

    Wow, heated discussion here. No offense Wildeats, but you have some crazy ideas about sugar. It's just sugar for gods sake!!!! I just had some 7-up, and guess what? I'm still here and still alive! It's calories in calories out that's the bottom line. Hate to break it to you bud.

    Just think of your body as a black box. You put stuff in the black box, it gets heavier. You take stuff out, it gets lighter. Did you not go to junior kindergarten along with the rest of us??? It's seriously not rocket science.

    When people make these "studies" or presentations, they are just ambitious in their own careers and want to spread their ideas. That should be the first red flag. They honestly probably don't see or treat real patients at all like they claim. And these so-called "doctors" clearly forgot that the rest of us actually did go to kindergarten!!!!!

    Wildeats, you do need to get your head out of the clouds.

    Since we are on the topic, I do have an actual question that might be relevant and has always been on my mind. On food labels, why is sugar the only item that doesn't have a reference to % recommended daily intake???? Especially since Aragon says that it's effects are dose-dependent? Wouldn't that in fact obligate this information to be on the label??

    It really is that simple. Calories in vs calories out.

    The complex part is the psychology of it. Our mindsets. How we react to food and our relationships with it. Why we overeat, or undereat, when we know may happen.

    If it was easily controlled, we wouldn't need places like MFP.

    I love when the trolls post links to studies that compared two variations of less intake than burn lifestyles then try saying it has nothing to do with CICO.

    LOLstig is the worlds biggest joke. He's literally a punchline.

    I hate when these trolls post things that we just don't want to know about.
